Cohen. 😱

Another painful loss. 🙁 I can't believe it. 🙁

The Grim Reaper has musicians in his sights this year, huh? Jeesh. Bugman, you've been breaking the news all year for stuff like this, what do you have a hotline to heaven or something?!

(small correction, if you don't mind, it was actually Cohen, not Cohan.)


It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
- Leonard Cohen

Yeah, I made that typo not once but twice, and didn't catch it.

No hotline here, but I sometimes do feel like the Grim Reaper of the TMF. These death notices seem to find me for some reason.

Everyone knew who you were talking about, no biggie 🙂

Thanks Bator. It irks me when I don't catch that stuff. Course it was past my bedtime. Yeah, that's it. There's my out. 😛

A real musician's musician.

I hope his passing will lead many to look beyond 'Hallelujah' and discover more of his material. I certainly shall.
